HoMM3 HD is a mod (add-on) for the game Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

I'm not arguing, having an initiative bar would be convenient and comfortable (as in WOT with the ability to measure distances with millimeter precision), but it's no longer necessary. In the pursuit of comfort, one can reach absurdity. IMHO.

Are you reading diagonally again? What initiative bar? Just numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 above/below/in/behind the stacks AND THAT'S IT!!!

for history, chess is not football, you can replay any game from a recording

Here, too, for historical purposes, you can replay any battle from a recording (without taking morality into account). There are many recorded battles that people have used to learn how to play.
